Slopes move. Ours don't. We build boulder and block walls for drainage, load, and decades of Wenatchee freeze‑thaw. The ground stays where it belongs.
We've rebuilt retaining walls that didn't make it two winters. Poor drainage behind them, wrong base, wrong block for the load. The homeowner paid twice.
Wenatchee's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on walls without proper drainage. Water behind a wall builds hydrostatic pressure that pushes outward all winter. We put drainage aggregate and perforated pipe behind every wall we build. No exceptions.
Proper drainage is what separates a wall that holds from one that fails in three winters. We never skip this step.
We install drainage pipe at the footing to move water away from the wall base and prevent saturation of the retained soil.
A wall is only as strong as what it sits on. We excavate to undisturbed soil, compact the base, and size the footing for the height and load.
Not every wall system is right for every situation. We spec the block, batter, and system for the height, slope, and soil conditions specific to your site.
Anyone can stack block. The difference is what happens behind it: drainage, base preparation, proper batter, and correct system selection for the height and load.
We build walls to last decades in Wenatchee's climate. Passing inspection is the baseline. Drainage and base work are non-negotiable.
Every wall we build gets drainage aggregate and perforated pipe. It's not optional. It's what keeps your wall standing after ten wet winters.
We've rebuilt walls that other contractors built wrong. That experience shapes how we approach every project, from site assessment to final cap.
